Hot Tips from Makaha Mangoes
  • Thereʻs lots of information on YouTube and Google. Sharing information with others helps us all get better.
  • Ultimately it is production that makes the difference.
  • Tree ripened fruit is the best there is. I do not like to let anything leave the farm unless it is ripe. Fruit does not ripen well off of the farm. I use a brix meter to verify the ripeness of the fruit.
